I am a Goodreads refugee. I have my preferred genres, but I have been known to step out of them if a book manages to really grab my interest. Also, I'm such a voracious reader that I will read and review books that I win in giveaway contests or that are sent to me for free by the author/publisher.

First off I won my copy of this book via a giveaway hosted by Goodreads.

When I began reading this book I was not sure I would like it despite the tantalizing and fun synopsis. However, After I got through what I had initially deemed "fluff," I realized that the "fluff" had a purpose. It draws you in, connects you to the characters, and gives you that emotional investment to their plight. I am very glad to have had the chance to read this book and I can hardly wait for my son to be old enough for me to read this to him. He's a year and a half now so it may be a while but since one of his favorite movies is Cats & Dogs I anticipate he will like this book very much someday.
